Are you trying to
conceive? Look at the following topics
below and see if any of them resonate with you.
This fertility journey is hard. Below
are some of the areas that seem most stressful when trying to make a baby. Trying to conceive can create stress on our
marriages, work life, and friendships.
Others don’t seem to understand what to say to be supportive and often
end up hurting rather than helping you feel better. Below are the topics that we’ll discuss each
week, they are topics that were often brought up in my years of working with
women and couples on their way to parenthood.
Please join others like you as we share, uplift and encourage one
another towards your dream of becoming a mother.

Weekly topics:

How
infertility effects our work and finances

Sexual
intimacy

Control
and Power (or feeling a lack of it)

Communication
with friends, family and professionals

Worry
and Anxiety (what to do with it)

Loving
Life in spite of it all-How do you move on from loss? What are some things
that bring you joy? Where does your spirit get inspired in the middle of
all of this?

The above topics will be discussed along with creative
solutions on how to improve these specific challenges. Each week we’ll learn a yogic coping
technique such as; pranayama or breathing techniques, nutrition tips,
meditation techniques like chanting and using mantra, creating vision boards
and gentle movement. Wear comfortable clothing, like yoga pants or sweatpants.

About Me

My name is Jenilyn Francis Gilbert. I earned my Master’s in Social Work at Loyola University in 1996 and I am a licensed clinical social worker. My entire career has been focused on fertility and families. I worked for ten years with prospective adoptive parents as a Counselor and Team Leader at The Cradle in Evanston, Illinois. I was certified in Hatha Yoga in 2000 and Kundalini Yoga in 2008. Restorative, fertility and prenatal yoga were my specialities. I have facilitated creativity workshops and meditation support groups at various locations throughout Chicago. I am also certified in two different healing modalities; Integrated Energy Therapy (level 3) and Reiki (level 1).
I blend my expertise, from personally experiencing the fertility journey and in my knowledge of fertility techniques and adoption, in a variety of ways. I treat my clients holistically, whether in navigating the myriad of choices available for fertility, discussing adoption options or giving emotional and spiritual support. In addition, I recently started coaching people around eating for fertility. Visit www.eatarealmeal.com to learn more about a personalized meal plans.
